Coming soon to Kindle

J-Mentors is based on thousands of hours of research into the historical, cultural, political, economic and archaeological background of Jesus life. Every page includes full-color, period-appropriate artwork, graphics, diagrams, and illustrations, all designed to help us put ourselves into the Jesus-story.

If we printed all 36 modules in full-color, the cost would be exorbitant. Even if we printed it all in Black-and-White, the cost would still be prohibitive. But on Kindle, we can provide all of J-Mentors in a full-color digital format at the lowest possible price. AND it is available instantly worldwide. You don't even need to own a Kindle! Simply download the free Kindle App on your computer, smart-phone, or tablet. The same content appears on all supported devices. We are currently preparing J-Mentors for publication on Kindle. Anticipated Kindle publication date: Mid-2026.
